Remy Duvall (died 1968) was a New Orleans real estate magnate, local philanthropist, and radio personality who hosted the conservative "Native Son" program and was often interviewed on WBYU.

In 1968, he was murdered at one of his KKK rallies by Lincoln Clay.

Biography
Remy Duvall was born in New Orleans, Louisiana to a white Protestant family; one of his ancestors was a Confederate States Army soldier who was killed in the fighting for New Orleans in 1862 during the American Civil War. Duvall became a real estate magnate in New Orleans and the surrounding areas, and he was one of New Orleans' richest citizens during the 1960s. Duvall used his fame and money to become the host of the ultra-conservative radio talk show "Native Son" and the leader of the white supremacist and Christian elitist "Southern Union" hate group. He also formed connections with the Marcano crime family through his friend Olivia Marcano (nee Grady), putting aside his hatred of Italians to work with Lou Marcano to sell him some ground for a casino.

Death
In 1968, the African-American criminal Lincoln Clay killed Lou Marcano, making Duvall lose money; Duvall swore vengeance, and he decided to assemble a "hunting party" of Southern Union members to kill Clay. Duvall held a cross-burning rally near the old lookout post outside of the city, and he spoke to a large crowd of Southern Union members about the need to kill Clay. The rally was interrupted when Clay threw a grenade into the crowd, wounding Duvall. Clay proceeded to kill those Southern Union members who were armed, and he confronted Duvall afterwards. Duvall asked him what he was going to do next, and he spat blood on Lincoln's face. Clay decided to tie him to the burning cross, and his body was taken down by police. Police chief Earl Wilson told a news reporter that all African-Americans in the city had to be rounded up and shot because of the "war" going on.
